Hon. Emmanuel Oluwole Alawode (Arole Omituntun), the Executive Chairman of Ibadan South East Local Government has urged Nigerians, particularly Christians, to spread love to their neighbours and remember less-privileged as they celebrate Christmas.
In a statement to mark Christmas, Hon. Alawode said Jesus Christ was an embodiment of sacrificial love and so, if Nigerians begin to emulate His way of life and exhibit unconditional love to one another, the impact will bring about a positive change that will lead to unity and development which will move the nation forward.
Speaking further, the Arole Omituntun stressed that the season symbolises love, care and compassion for persons, especially the weak, vulnerable and less-privileged.
“This season is another opportunity to increase our acts of kindness and touch the less privileged in our society,” he reiterates.
The council boss then wishes all Nigerians, a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year in advance and prayed for the warmth of God’s love to fill every heart and home.
